    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    All roads of weightlessness ends with this. An NOS Magnesium Dana rear section. It was extremely manageable by one hand only. Sometimes one has to succumb to the old iron apron. It needed a few add on's just for reinforcement and durability. It would probably not be so much of an advantage over...

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    This car was fascinating. The second actual 2% car that I have seen so far. A Bill Jenkins/ Dave Strickler STICK creation at that.

    Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals 11-23 and 24, 2024

    The best car show I have ever attended, hands down and dropping the mic. So much to see and glee over. It truly is the Super Bowl galore of Muscle cars and factory racers. All makes, all united. WOW! Pictures to follow by either RMCHGR or myself.

    Let us know the difference in weight from the steel one.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Nice. Mine is in the mail as we speak. The guy turns stuff around fast. I want him to make a distributor hold down bolt as well. Titanium is so special looking, plus it is corrosion proof.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    I've studied these blocks for a few years now and have come to the conclusion that the motor mount ears and bosses have no skeletal attachment into the blocks core structural strength, and so if elephant ears or a motor plate are in play, why not give the block a shave. When a shave is...

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    The Titanium 6" long alternator mounting bolt is now spinning on the lathe. It should be here in a week or so. I'll post it up once it's in my hands.

    1965 cable shift reverse pattern column

    It looks old to me, though the reproduction shift pattern glass has been in circulation for a fair amount of years now. It could be an original. Either way, it is a nice piece. The overall steel column jacket itself is standard just like the stock types. The internals rooster pad has a...

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Yeah, I guess if Chrysler didn't want to or couldn't make it for whatever reasons, then I would. It's the most proud piece on the car, though there are many other parts that are small and hidden that are real pieces to drool over. Maybe someone should start a book cover eye appeal Super Stock...

    Here's the underbelly construction. Sturdy and dirty trick piece it is.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    A gentleman who is building a NHRA Super Stock '65 was curious of my scratch built aluminum hood. Here it is as a repost just after construction and in top coat form as it sits on the car today.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Yeah, certain stresses can crush, bend and collapse lightweight tubing or flat stock if not considering it to have enough meat for strength. I’m traveling at the moment, so I couldn’t give you the measurements on my aluminum tubing/ spacers between the alternator and the motor head, but I do...

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    This is why even though it doesn't see much racing at all anymore, a multi-point check list is followed religiously most often to make sure that critical parts are still sitting strong. As far as a Dana, I'm confident with it behind there. The 8-3/4 most likely would have lived back there being...

    That there is some serious Fabbing.

    Let's make sure to keep ourselves updated on the return of Stinger/AAR fiberglass.

    Thanks for the heads up. Either I or my friend will reach out to them in short order.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    As far as scatter shields are concerned, yes they are heavy with the exception of course, if one would spring for a Trick Titanium scatter shield which could set you back a few thou$and dollar$. If I were to ever campaign a pedal car, it would be safe to say that I'd go the whole nine yards to...

    HHmmmmmm. Interesting. It all makes sense.

    With Stinger Fiberglass now seemingly gone, what company makes the best glass hoods?

    Thank you. Where there is necessity and ambition, there is a way, but only with patience and imagination. Kramer didn't think there was a market for a high profile outlaw A/FX scoop neither and that's when I went into action. Believe it or not, the end bends on either side of the scoop were made...
